Hi there!

Sorry. I posted this question in a old topic of mine. Probably not the smartest thing to do.

I have a question regarding a pattern in master mode.

I want to accomplish the following
Layering 2 internal instruments on the MO8 and 1 external instrument on my external device (listening on midi ch. 3). Being able to change the volume of these instruments (zones)separately while playing.

I’ve set-up a pattern as follows
track 1: out ch 1, INT SW: on, EXT SW: off
track 2: out ch 2, INT SW: on, EXT SW: off
track 3: out ch 3, port 1, INT SW: off, EXT SW: on

Mixing settings
part01: Draw control organ, mode: receivech 1
part02: Traditional organ, mode: receivech 2
part03: Grand Piano, mode: receivech 3
(I skipped the limits and noteshifts for this exercise)

Master mode
Associated master 001(a01) with this pattern with zoneswitch on, common -> other -> zone/slider set to “zone”.
Zone 1: TransCh 1, TGSwitch on, MIDISwitch off
Zone 2: TransCh 2, TGSwitch on, MIDISwitch off
Zone 3: TransCh 3, TGSwitch off, MIDISwitch on (the external device)

Result
Now the zone sliders work perfectly, even zone 3 sends out volume changes to my external device. I can change the volume of zone 1, zone 2 and zone 3 changing the instrument volumes as I play. That’s great.

Problem
The problem I have is that the MO8 doesn’t seem to transmit zone 3 on midi channel 3 but on channel 1 (keys and slider both transmit on channel 1). With only one external instrument that wouldn’t be a problem, but with for instance 2 external instruments the sliders of both zones would interfere with each other.

Furthermore I would like to be able to mute each zone with the press of a single button. In pattern mode I could mute the part’s with mute -> part number. This does not seem to work in pattern master mode.

What am I doing wrong?? Am I using the pattern mode wrong? Can the keyboard of the MO8 send out only 1 channel while playing live?

Thanks for your help!

Kind regards,

WizzyWizz
